Marked ecosystem changes in the Baltic Sea have been recorded in the sediments, but the reasons are not fully understood. Now an integrated study of high-resolution sediment records (of the past 1,000 years) in combination with an ecosystem modelling approach reveals that surface temperature changes strongly influence deepwater oxygenation.
